 Невыносимо Высокомерный (RIP) Member 11, 965 posts SQ 190, BP 140, DL 255585.0 kgs @ 95kgs UnEq | Originally posted by littlegirlbunny... +55 kg on chins will be pretty impressive! Bet it feels weird doing that kind of low volume on squats after the last 4 weeks! It certainly does. And as last time, the first couple of heavy sessions doesn't even feel that easy - but then (hopefully) you begin to get the carryover after a couple of weeks. | ||

So plenty of time to go yet, but training's pretty much planned out (though not to the letter - my system's pretty flexible). | ||

 I am a bench-only guy Member 3, 10068 posts SQ 185, BP 175, DL 235595.0 kgs @ 140kgs UnEq Administrator | Nice benching there mate. You should easily be good for 130 doubles, I'd've thought. | ||

Невыносимо Высокомерный (RIP) Member 11, 965 posts SQ 190, BP 140, DL 255585.0 kgs @ 95kgs UnEq | 6/6/07 Squat 60x5, 80x3, 100x2, 120x2x6 Bench Press 60x3, 80x3, 100x3, 115x2, 125x2x4 Deadlift 60x3, 100x3, 140x1, 180x1, 200x1, 210x1 Believe it or not, the 210 was very hard. Have to get back into the low reps over the next few weeks. Unfortunately it also hurt my back so it remains to be seen what exactly is going to happen with squats and deadlifts in the immediate future. DB Bench Press 35s x 15, 15, 14 | ||

Невыносимо Высокомерный (RIP) Member 11, 965 posts SQ 190, BP 140, DL 255585.0 kgs @ 95kgs UnEq | 8/6/07 Felt fine on Thursday then woke on Friday to find that my back thing had mysteriously migrated to my hip without my even doing anything. Sat through a 3 hour meeting expecting it to get worse and discovered it had actually vanished. Decided to leave the squats and deads as a precaution but got some SLDLs in, and I think that will be the tactic for a while. Will reintroduce DLs when I feel ready. Bench Press 60x5, 80x3, 100x3, 115x2, 125x2x5 OH Press 50x3x2, 60x3, 70x1, f75, f75 s**t. SLDL off block 50x10, 70x10, 90x10, 110x10, 90x10 Machine Row 127.5x8x4 | ||

Невыносимо Высокомерный (RIP) Member 11, 965 posts SQ 190, BP 140, DL 255585.0 kgs @ 95kgs UnEq | 10/6/07 Squat 70x5, 90x3, 110x3, 130x2, 150x1, 160x1, 170x1 Bit s**t - but then the last time I did 3x3 the second week was s**t too and then I set a PB in the third, so we'll see. Hip was feeling better afterwards but not quite right yet. Bench Press 60x5, 80x3, 100x3, 120x2, 130x1x3 Had to have a bad bench day sooner or later. First 130 set was supposed to be a double but I f**ked up the second one. DB OH Press 22.5s x 14, 12, 12 Pull-up +5 x 16, 14, 14 At least pull-ups were good. Could have had 18-19 on the first set. | ||

 left the country satisfied Member 10, 19241 posts SQ 240, BP 150, DL 270660.0 kgs @ 107kgs UnEq | too bad about missing the doubles with 130 mate. You certainly looked good for them when you were working with 125. Did you not get proper rest/eating/sleep or what do you think made you miss that peak? Just head not in it? | ||

You certainly looked good for them when you were working with 125. Did you not get proper rest/eating/sleep or what do you think made you miss that peak? Just head not in it? Hard to say really. I'd been somewhat put off by squats being so s**t and my back/hip bothering me so I guess I wasn't in the best frame of mind psychologically - but I was still feeling optimistic about the benching, so I wouldn't really ascribe it to that. "Just one of those days" is the best I can come up with really - I'm going to use 130 again tomorrow and go for doubles. | ||

 Does f*ck all for SugdenBarbell.co.uk Member 1, 7174 posts SQ 182.5, BP 110, DL 205497.5 kgs @ 107kgs UnEq Administrator | Post Edited: 12.06.2007 @ 00:24 AM Maybe you should seriously consider using a belt (and a proper one at that). I have a feeling it would drastically reduce your back problems, never mind add to your total once mastered. And lets face it, now you're in the nationals you need to be doing every single thing you can to add to your total, even if it only makes the smallest of differences. | ||

Easy to say of course, but I really don't think it would help my back. It's not as if I've even been using the kind of weights that people would generally belt up for recently (squatting and deadlifting have both been under 80%1RM). It's the volume more than anything - seemed alright but caught up with me after a while. | ||

You might not have been going that heavy but the volume more than makes up for it. I definitely wouldn't do Kortes without a belt, I think you are asking far too much of your back - it's bound to become tired. | ||

I might try a proper belt for heavy squats some time and see if it helps at all. | ||

Невыносимо Высокомерный (RIP) Member 11, 965 posts SQ 190, BP 140, DL 255585.0 kgs @ 95kgs UnEq | 12/6/07 The arrival at Total Fitness of some shiny new dumbbells with bars that you can actually hold on to properly filled me with optimism and heralded an excellent workout... Squat 60x5, 90x3, 110x2, 130x2x8 Very easy and fast, a world away from Sunday's ropey 170 and last week's sluggish 120s. Bench Press 60x3, 80x3, 100x3, 120x2, 130x2x4 Haha! I knew I could get them! First one flew up on every rep and there were no grinders. Deadlift 60x3, 100x3, 140x2, 170x2, 190x1, 210x1, 222.5x1 This was damn hard actually but I couldn't even have lifted it last week, so improvement there. No back pain either. DB Bench Press 37.5s x 14, 12, 12 Machine Row 135 x 10, 10, 8 Great stuff. | ||
